I got few watches - any help is welcome
Hi, This is what I posted on other forum:Hello,Recently I inherited small collection of wrist watches. There are 20+ (edit: realy there is 17 pieces ¨C at first pile seemed bigger ) watches in collection and brands are Tissot, Favre Leuba, Vulcain, Juvenia. I was told that watches are aprox. form period 1970-1990 (edit: one Tissot I opened is from around 1965 acording to movement). Some have, I think, original straps (marked strap and buckle) and some even have price/stock tags. On top of that I got some literature and catalog. As total newb to watches I would appreciate some guidelines from experienced people. Most of collection are mechanical watches and few are battery powered. I will probably left few pieces as sentimental value and rest will be traded or sold. In literature I got I failed to find any piece from collection, in there are many pieces from same brand and with wide range of prices but not one from collection. I went to local watchmaker but he wasnt able to help me, exc

What come close to the Seamaster; looks wise?
I mean as far as blue chrono's go? That spacific blue w/ blue chrono's and a s/s bracelet? W/o the Omega price.I have this Seiko that I LOVE, just wish the chrono's were blue and a numbered bezel.....opinions?

Patek Philippe quality control issue
Brought a brand new double seal 5390G in one of the authorise deal here in Hong Kong, cut the seal open myself at the shop, then brought it on the spot.Two days later find out there is some scratch on the gold rotor under the glass, go back to the dealer and say will send right back to swiss to fix it.have to wait at least one and half month.......what kind of quality control is that for a 65k usd watch?

16600 vs. 116600
I've been doing some poking around as I look to find the right Sea Dweller as my next watch (and by next I suppose I mean the moment I find it; I'm not exactly patient always).I'm noticing in the pre-owned market that the 16600 market is soft while the 116600 market is fairly strong. Aside from the steel vs. ceramic bezel, what is driving this big difference? I love the look of both watches, and it's not as though I plan on re-selling the watch anyway, but I'm still wondering why the 116600 seems to be in demand and the 16600 seems to be being avoided. This makes the prices for 116600's fairly reliable and consistent but it makes it very difficult to properly assess a 16600 to determine what is a fair price (they seem to sit here in the classifieds without ever moving really).What gives? Should I even be thinking about the price/demand differences in these watches or is there a clear reason to opt for the 116600 over the 16600?Thanks for helping!
